I imagine that it only works for the typical type of work that gets outsourced anyways-- very tightly scoped work in codebases that don't actually require deep integration with production systems or anything all that critical.

I have yet to have a super positive experience with the quality of work of offshore contractors either internally hired or via an external consulting company.

Do you think outsourcing (“gets outsourced anyways”) still happens for most tech teams? IMO, just like you mentioned, teams are so scared of outsourcing that this happens less and less.

I agree that this works for well scoped tickets that only depend on the code and testable on a staging environment. Anything outside of that needs in-house devs (or contractors) to get done.
